Scleroderma (Excessive Collagen Production)
Hi I need some advise on my problem condition.I have been diagonised with Partial Localized Scleroderma.
This is currently limited to the hands and face area.
This started with the hand and face exhibiting Reynauds Phenomenon ( Under Stress and Cold conditions Hands and Face used to turn blue in color)
Off late there was stretching of the facial skin making it difficult to open my mouth fully.
After the initial medication for this condition using corticosteroid by the dermatologist and also using moisturizer the stretching is gone and can open my mouth properly.
In the meanwhile in paraller had a white path developed on the back of the neck. This also is reducing with the medication given.
Although I had to stop the corticosteroid as it was having a side effect of excess weight gain. After stopping the weight is in control now.
That was my case history.
I need advise as to what are my options with homeopathy, as what i understand is this Scleroderma is not curable, and to keep it in control I have to be on medication throughout my life. So I wanted to check the homepathy option as if I want to keep on medication I as well consider Homeopathy which will not have side effects.
Please give me your thoughts regarding this disease and effect or cases with homeopathy in curing/controlling this.
(This disease is caused by excessive production of collagen in the body)
Would appreciate your thoughts and advise.
Warm Regards,
Deepa

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I am 24 years old and never had any medical problems til date. The symptoms started 4 years back and we approached the doctor some 18 months before only.
Although from family perspective no one has any known history of this condition, but although my mother has severe rheumatoid arhritis since the age of 35 till date.
Thanks,
